Sony PlayStation 3 Slim

By David Carnoy

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim review: With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package at a more affordable price.

More affordable $499 price • Slimmer, more compact design • Quieter operation • All games in high definition • Easy-to-use interface • Doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player • Built-in Wi-Fi • 120GB hard drive • HDMI output with 1080p support • ...

Lacks backward support for PS2 games • No infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible • Online gaming, media and commerce options still aren't as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they're getting better ;

Needless to say, Sony hopes that a trimmed down - and less expensive - PS3 Slim will similarly invigorate sales of the PlayStation 3, which has lagged behind the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Xbox 360 and has taken some of the lustre off the......

PS3 Slim video: Real or fake?

By David Carnoy

After months of rumours surrounding an updated "PS3 Slim", a video has surfaced on YouTube purporting to be a first glimpse at the product.

Recently, a shaky, grainy video of what may or may not be a PS3 Slim turned up on YouTube (Engadget says it's supposedly a "stolen" PS3 Slim that made its way to a street market in the Philippines). The "console" in the video does appear to be a...

By Matt Peckham

Smaller and lighter, quieter and more energy-efficient

Only two USB ports instead of four, still no backwards compatibility for PS2 games

As Blu-ray players go, the original PS3 was competitive at $700 - although some cheaper units did just as good a job. At $499 with a slimmer profile and lower power consumption, the PS3 Slim is arguably the one to beat. Factor in games, social ...

Only two USB ports instead of four, still no backwards compatibility for PS2 games

With its slicker body and reduced price point, the PlayStation 3 Slim is vastly more enticing than its costly predecessor. As Blu-ray players go, it's pretty hard to beat -- and that's before you even factor in the games. If Microsoft claims it's not ...
